Favorite software...

Originally posted by CptSiskoX Cool. I'm using X-Setup 6.2 right now and we will hopefully have a public beta open sometime soon.

My favorite software is Partition Magic 7.0 Pro. It makes it so easy to reformat, resize, change type, create, delete, copy, and just about anything else you can think of with a hard drive. Plus it is really simple to use.

Agreed. So far XP has been a charm. I haven't even started really tweaking it yet and it's still pretty fast and VERY stable. I guess d/lding patches is a way of life for any OS you use. Take Solaris for example. There's actually a checklist of patches to install just to install a certain piece of software.

Mictlantecuhtli is right, Microsoft has pulled Powertoys and is making many changes to it. I heard several reports of Microsoft rereleasing Powertoys sometime in April.

I also have to agree with Boeingfixer on XP by far being Microsofts most stable and fastest OS to date. I've tweaked it beyond belief and am getting the results to prove it. The features are vast and some very useful. I too am happy with my copy of XP Pro!!!

Well I went to the net tonight to get Power Toys and was greated with this warm and cheerie message.

(January 31, 2002 update) PowerToys will not be available today as previously stated here. We're sorry, because we know you like them a lot. PowerToys are currently being improved, and will be available for download in April 2002.

Macromedia UltraDev would be my favorite piece of software. Its real handy when wanting to create a website. It kind of makes a messy html but it looks real good. I also like Macromedia Fireworks for imaging needs. Its not as crafty as Photoshop but gets the work done pretty easily.

I'd have to go with the calculator. Sure, my calculator cost a thousand bucks, but hey, it has a mouse attached!!! Second place definitely goes to defrag for the neat patterns. I could watch it for hours. Let me come to your house, I could defrag your comp for you. Please?

Personally one of my favorite apps is a little conversion utility called Unit Calc, its a handy little app for converting several types of measurement like; weight, mass, volume, temperature, speed, etc... This app is a lifesaver for me.

A close second would probably be Power VCR, not only is it the only app I've found that completely works correctly with my Tuner card but it also includes Power DVD. It also lets me record edit and convert video, directly from my Tuner or from my Camcorder, it also plays and records from files and disc.
